From what I've read, everything tells me that Greys are incapable of showing emotion. While they seem primarily focused on their technology and the advancement of their species, are they completely incapable of feeling love, compassion, happiness, etc?
When they experiment on their abductees, do they have any understanding of love between human beings?
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.
if aliens exist, and in the context you've laid out, then im under the impression that yes, they do have emotions. however, their emotions may not be equatable to human emotions exactly. they may even have emotions that we dont have, and vice versa. i dont think their emotions are as powerful on their higher reasoning skills as ours is, as well. in fact this is more likely the case. for instance, the effects of an emotion on our minds take higher precendant on our reasoning as opposed to the other worldy people. from what i've read about.
but im inclined to believe, under these conditions, that they do have emotions , and are capable of "love". i would also assume that it depends on the relationship between them, and the perciever. for instance, an analogy comparable maybe, is , does your doctor really care about what happens to you? or is he/she just doing his/her job? we can infer this information from communication and by body language , etc, however, we do not know for fact if the doctor does care. however, if aliens do have telepathy, (in this context) then you would know immediately what he/she feels via sharing on such a level. so you would feel like he/she doesnt care , because just like your doctor, they may be just doing their job, and quite honestly he/she really doesnt care. but others of the species may care. indeed some abductees may very well in time prove capable of even assisting , which is of course very favorable which then leads the causality of emotions to be positive , not negative and indifferent, in response. as it would be if one resisted becoming a group member, and sharing.
in conclusion, i would say yes they experience emotions, from the "good" to the "bad", however they are more subdued than ours, to a considerable degree, but none the less still exists. for instance, when they undergo procedures of procreation it is their process of creation. their process of making more of them. when they attempt this process on humans, humans object based on moral grounds that they have learned from their cultures. i dont know whos right, but the attempt's have been made, as from the literature, by them, to incorporate our method of sexual intercourse, and it failed. due to the complex mating structure of our species. we dont share very readily, even our thoughts. a species trait i fear.
or so it appears to me from the available literature on the subject.
whos knows...????
